Yes, please do give some indication that is valid please. We've been strung along like absorbers for 2 years already. I'm on the fence with a negative lean already and another carrot isn't going to do the trick this time. :mad:[/size] |

I'm on the fence with a positive lean, but yes, "strung along" is accurate - to say the least. Prior to General Availability there was success based upon 2 simple premises/promises: 1. A quality tel page for Registrants 2. A quality directory for Users STILL TALKING about number 1. "getting better in time, please be patient" after 2 years isn't going very far any more, I agree. :confused:[/size] |

STILL TALKING about number 1 AND number 2 after this long past General Availability is ridiculous period. I can appreciate that it takes time to get a world full of participants but seriously ? When you can't provide a REAL telpage and telpages directory structure after 2 years to even 1 user ??? What is being done today by Telnic should have been done, completed, and provided DAY 1 to begin with ... ... but now to be 2 years down the road and have the "please be patient" speech, are you kidding ?????? I am SICK AND TIRED of being patient quite honestly, and I wonder if the people who weren't patient and saw this trend weren't smart to walk away last year. WE GIVE: TIME, MONEY, PATIENCE, AND FAITH TO TELNIC and what do we get in return ? One ill-conceived notion after another, and please be MORE patient ... SERIOUSLY ??? I believe the saying is: "You can put lipstick on a pig, and it's still a pig" .... ... is this where we are with .TEL or NOT ???? :mad:[/size] |

I can appreciate your sentiment - it has certainly been conveyed by many on and off this forum and around the industry. HOWEVER, remember that just like anything else, it's your choice to support or run, and no one is forcing you in either direction. I can certainly see how those who have given time, money, patience, and faith are growing weary and feeling betrayed too, this is obviously a less than professional endeavor. Using the contest to choose templates vs. self recognition that a slogan area is needed to gain support, then throwing that element out when someone else does see the needs certainly shows a serious lack of awareness needed to provide even the slightest hope of mass support. "Reinventing the wheel" is admirable, but only to a certain extent. "Getting companies to drop their slogans and/or desire to use them in advertising" is simply blindness. "Blind leading the Blind" was something I heard said last year ... .... I don't know if it's that bad, but the trend does continue. Make your choice just like everyone else ! :o[/size] |
The way I see it is this. Rome wasn't built in a day and babys dont jump out of the womb running. A unique domain name registry which hangs and structures its clients data on the DNS is not going to start out in year one with the same identical product and direction it is going to have in year twenty. If its not for you, like its not for many others I suggest jump out now and watch how it performs. You can be one of those people who see's something different and watch's it fail while glad you got out while you could. Or you could be one of those people who watchs something succeed amazingly well and wishs they could have been part of it again. Me I'm going to sit on in here, while I may like somethings to work differently, be faster, smoother, more efficent, and rapidly adopted by the general public. I'm happy providing my little bit of constructive input from time to time, doing what I do in the rest of my life and enjoying the ride on a beast which is certainly different to the rest. Why not jump back over to my side of the fence, dont spend your life savings, be realistic and not overly optimistic to timeframes which are not deliverable and say what you want and how in a diplomatic manner. |

No, but when Telnic says "Please Celebrate The Birth Of .TEL" to the World Generally on March 23, 2009 they DO expect to see a BABY, and NOT the Promise of a Baby and BABY PARTS occasionally for 2 years .... :rolleyes:[/size] |

This was not the Brochure, and THAT is a FACT: :mad:[/size] |

No but as we are using the baby analogy, I would expect to : protect it, nurture it, clean it, dress it and train it. Untill it develops in its own time. Once it got older I would encourage it to do things it was good at and occasionally put it out of its comfort zone so it could adapt to situations outwith its control. You know what I'm saying your just to excited too admit it :eek:[/size] |
Quote:
I admit everything, so again, where's the Baby ? I see parts. :eek:[/size] |
Quote:
C'mon telrific, can't you see the baby ? Here it is: :p[/size] |

Well, maybe, let's see: .COM Registrations - 93,563,748 .TEL Registrations - 333,300 This means that .TEL needs 93,230,448 more registrations to catch up. Considering ours are all quality as evidenced by the CPC/Traffic value in the World, I am guessing not only do we need MORE quality names, but so do you ! :D[/size] |

Maybe the REAL problem isn't the Registrant at all, regardless of quantity or quality .. EVER. Whether a well developed .TEL portfolio, or simply "Joe with an email address" .TEL will ALWAYS represent a wide variety of people and Registrants of all kind. When that COLLECTIVE effort can't be created and driven by the PROMISE made in the beginning of a quality TelPage and Directory ... Hmmm You start calling the Registrants the problem and it will start a Revolution, and perhaps a War ! :eek:[/size] |

KeywordSpy.com and Google AdWords proves whether or not "something is a waste of money" or "has a hope of return or not" every minute of every day. Nothing of anyone's opinion is even worth mentioning if you check the facts first. I see daily drops every day, and most should be, while quality goes unregistered. Waste and Hope is not a matter of opinion. This is about Math, not Art. ;)[/size] |

This is why everyone was excited about .TEL and some still are. Some have just heard of it, and some will hear for the first time tomorrow. "I'll believe it when I see it" is why most drop and run ... they simply don't see it, they only see more promises of "it to come". Patience is a virtue, or death, but that difference comes at the hand of FULFILLMENT, not Registrant. |

From Keywordspy.com: Find Profitable Keyword ... Over 127 Million ... Looks like this statement below is the farthest from the truth with us ! Quote: [/size]
I don't think that 0.000003 is too many. What we have says there are still 127 million profitable Keywords yet to be registered ! Guess that's not the real problem after all ! I would check the Quality of the Marketing and the Quality of the Product Itself. ;)[/size] |
